Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. David Higdon (illustrator). From Tyranny to Freedom â " â Memoirs of My Lifeâ comprise the reminiscences of Countess Viktoria-Luise of Solms-Baruth, the first wife of Prince Friedrich Josias, youngest son and heir of Duke Carl Eduard of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. She was, quite likely, the first German female of royal lineage to marry an American officer, Captain Richard â Dickâ Whitten, whom she met early in 1947. Their love affair seemed like a whirlwind and by November the couple joined their destinies and settled down to a long marriage. Viktoria-Luise was an amazing woman. Independent-minded, strong-willed, never easily defeated, she sought to rebuild her life on her own terms, while always keeping in mind the needs of her son, who stood to inherit the sizable legacy of the Dukes of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. She grasped that life had changed for those in her milieu and sought to make the best of it. She fell in love with an US Army Captain, an attractive man who promised to take her on a new adventure in a faraway land. Viktoria-Luise jumped head-in, seized the moment, and built a new life. As with everything she tackled, she was thoroughly successful. Her unique position, provided by background and connections, makes her story even more appealing. Raised in a fairly conventional and old-world environment, she embraced love outside her circle and built a life not only in a new country, but also in a faraway continent. The memoirs provide a candid, detailed and eye-opening window into a world of privilege now gone. They are tribute to a human being who in spite of losing nearly all, rose from the ashes of a destroyed Europe to live a happy, admirable and fulfilled existence. 2 LB.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. David Higdon (illustrator). 1st Edition. Arturo E. Beà che, founder and publisher of The European Royal History Journal, thought of the idea for an anthology on Russia's Grand Duchesses in 2004. Consequently, a companion book on the Russian Grand Dukes became imperative. The Grand Dukes: Sons & Grandsons of Russia's Tsars Since Paul I examines the biographies of nearly forty men whose birth gave them the right to one of the world's most prestigious positions. All sons of Russian tsars are covered in Volume I. The sons of collateral grand ducal branches are covered in Volume II. The biography of each of the Grand Dukes of Russia brings to life a deeply gripping human saga. These men were born into what then was one of the world's most powerful ruling dynasties. They were not all saints; they were not all demons - they were men whose birth showered them with untold privilege. Some used their birthright for the common good; some did not. Yet, they all remain amazingly intriguing, complex, complicated and conflicted human beings. At birth they were showered with untold privilege, including a lump sum of money placed in trust for them. By the time these funds were made available to a Grand Duke, the interest alone made them amazingly wealthy. Added to this benefit, they derived salaries from their military appointments, investments, real estate and inheritance. Thus, the Grand Dukes were able to maintain a lifestyle only surpassed by today's oligarchs and yesteryear's robber barons. They were consummate spenders in paintings, art, architecture, jewels, all while acting as sponsors of talented writers, thinkers, poets, ballerinas, among many others. One was a playwright of considerable talent. Another played a role in working toward the liberation of the serfs. One was a leading admiral with a fondness for "fast women and slow ships." Another Grand Duke lived a tortured existence as a closeted homosexual, yet became the father of nine children. Told in a two-volume set, this is their story. 2 LB.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Arturo Beeche (illustrator). ROYAL GATHERINGS was inspired by the Eurohistory Magazine's section, Who's In a Photo. This section has proven to be the magazine's most popular feature. In the Second Volume of this series, the authors analyzed thirty-six photos taken at royal gatherings. Each photo is given a chapter and in each chapter, the authors provide short biographies of the royal personages included in the image, providing not only insightful information about the protagonists, but also a very unique selection of vignettes on most of the royals covered in the book. Co-authored by Ilana D. Miller and Arturo E. Beà che, it promises to be an excellent addition to Eurohistory's growing library of unique titles. Ranging from the last Imperial Russian visit abroad in June 1914 to the wedding of Princess Irene of Greece and Prince Aimone of Savoy, Duke of Spoleto, just weeks before the start of the Second World War, ROYAL GATHERINGS II examines thirty-six group photos taken at various royal get-togethers between those years. Each of the thirty-six chapters focuses on one particular gathering. In each gathering the authors provide interesting vignettes, or what Prince Michael of Greece calls "la petite histoire." Besides written stories on each of the royalties present in any of the given group photos, the authors also included many individual photos to accompany the text. The book contains more than 330 photos, as well as an extensive family tree that includes most of the royalties discussed in the book. ROYAL GATHERINGS II has 248-long glossy pages and is hardbound. 3 lb. Signed by Author(s).

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Arturo Beeche (illustrator). H12In 1913, the Romanovs celebrated three hundred years of seating on the Russian Imperial throne. Great fanfare and hope accompanied the celebrations. A year later, Imperial Russia entered a "war to end all wars," with the hope of "being back home for Christmas." It was not to be. Instead, in February 1917, after years of administrative and military ineptitude and incompetence, the Russian people had enough of its government's inefficacy and corruption. The consequences, as it turned out, changed the world. Tsar Nicholas II was overthrown; members of the Imperial Family faced persecution, arrest, financial instability, uncertainty, and worse. This is the compelling story of how the Romanovs dealt with glory, war, revolution, persecution, imprisonment, and escape! 3 lb.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. David Higdon (illustrator). his excellent book, authored by David McIntosh and Arturo Beà che, includes more than 315 unique and rarely seen photos from both Mr. McIntosh's archive and the renowned Eurohistory Royal Archive. The book follows the history of this once mighty kingdom from its creation in the Middle Ages to its inheritance by the Bourbons of Spain, and its final incorporation into the modern Kingdom of Italy in 1860-61. Furthermore, and perhaps more fascinatingly, the book catalogues the saga of the various members of the royal family as they rebuilt their lives in exile, while also continuing to make matrimonial alliances with most of the ruling Catholic dynasties of Europe, among them the Habsburgs, the Spanish Bourbons, Saxony, Parma, and several others. The storyline follows the lives of the Bourbons of the Two Sicilies and their descendants to today. It is a unique production on a popular exiled royal family that has maintained a prominent presence among Europe's royals. Glossy/ hardback, 224 pages. It includes an intricate two-page spread genealogical tree showing the Royal Sicilian Dynasty and its many connections to Europeâ s other royal and princely dynasties. 3 LB.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Arturo Beeche (illustrator). This bookâ s concept began with our frustration over the lack of English language sources available on the six beautiful Nassau sisters of Luxembourg, their descendants and the families they married into. We, however, wanted to know more. Thus, we braved our way through whatever foreign language materials we could find, and as we learned more about the princessesâ lives our interest grew to include the account of their parentsâ courtship and eventual marriage, a union which is one of the more touching but tragic of historyâ s untold royal love stories. Nor would the narrative of the sistersâ lives be complete without an explanation of how their grandfather came to inherit the Luxembourg throne. We hope you enjoy our effortâ ¦â Sabrina and Kassandra Pollock. Hardbound, glossy print, 240 pages, 405 rare images of the grand ducal family and other related royal and princely families. 3 LB.
